Well, i respect the people that hated JW but I Loved Jurassic World, i LOVED the Nanny scene, and loved the third act with all the dinos (including my beloved trex from the first movie) fighting the big bad guy and how it ended eated by the water dino. And the end showing from above my beloved trex standing mighty in the island. It was such a fun movie.

I saw both competing volcano movies in 1997 on their opening day.   

I definitely caught Volcano opening day. Dante's Peak was in second run theaters when I caught it though.

As a lesbian, I cringed so hard that they thought Pratt was the guy (let alone the Chris) we'd go bi for.  🙄

Which Chris is it tho?

Thor? 

 

Both?

The scene in question was literally the girl telling Pratt that she would go straight for him. No thanks lmao

Wow

That happens literally every time with gay characters. It's just a cover for "if we left this in the film we would lose foreign markets."

That leaves the question, why do they write it at all?

And I doubt those five seconds hurt a film that much.

 

 

55M Friday would be okay roughly 40M True Friday and a 2.59x Previews.

 

Guess it could climb higher to 43M true Friday

I'm going by percentage of tickets sold in this metric.  Also on a flat number of tickets sold, JW2 outsold Solo locally. [edit: 1.0758x more than Solo, for the record]

Hate to pull the "Actually" card*, but...

* No I don't. 

 

Solo [14.1] * 1.0758 = 15.17m

JW:FK = 15.3m

 

I call that a successful estimate. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lucky one too, I'll admit.

55M for the first Update is rather good, since the number will imo climb much higher once the evening shows of the West Coast are starting!

It'll be superfrontloaded and miss $120M for the weekend. JUST YOU WAIT!

Power Rangers got an 18 rating in Russia for even vaguely implying that one of the leads is not heterosexual.

For reference, this was JW's first Friday update in 2015:

 

UPDATE, Friday 12:53 PM: Jurassic World is currently estimating a $65M Friday off midday sales — that’s inclusive of last night’s $18.5M B.O.

 

We all know what the number was in the end.

@MovieMan89 Your thoughts?

Make sure to start drinking a large gulp of coffee just before doing so.

Gimme your thoughts on MalePatternBaldness getting eaten by the trex parents in Lost World

 

Should have been the only one of the four to make it off the island.

Gotta admit, my favorite dino action on a grand scale was in Jackson's Kong when Kong threw down with the tyrannosaur like creatures. Next favorite would be when Kong wrestled the abnormally large Skullcrawler in Skull Island.

 

So, there it is... Big hopes for the creature on creature action and fun in store in King of the Monsters and, especially, Kong v. Godzilla. Some fun stuff in Jurassic World with big dinos chomping on one another. Not so much in Fallen Kingdom. Missed the boat there.

I gotta admit my favorite Dino movie remains the one I saw as a kid, the Harryhausen classic "Valley of the Gwangi".

Cowboys and Dinosaurs;what more could you want.

That’s an alright drop for I2. Definitely was more superhero movie than animation. Will rebound next week and the week after with AMATW double features.
